One Billet Wonder with Jane Bruce

This short, but intensive class is a great introduction to the process of open-face casting. Starting with developing a 5” x 10” sculptural design in clay, students will then create an open-face mold into which a clear or colored billet (slab) of glass will be placed and heated in a kiln to create a 3-dimensional form. Hands-on work will be complimented by a presentation on kilnformed glass. No experience required, however, this class is also suitable for those who have taken introductory kilnformed glass classes.

What to expect: Students will make one piece, 5”x10” over the course of the class. We will collectively plan for available kiln space to accommodate everyone fairly. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. 

Eligibility: No experience required, however, this class is also suitable for those who have taken introductory kiln classes and wish to explore the possibilities of coldworking when used together with kilnformed glass. Open to ages 14 and up. 

Pick-up: The glass needs to fire, fuse, and cool down over several days, then the students will return to UrbanGlass for the third class session to complete their pieces and leave with them.

This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
